Ah, I see what you mean, Cynthia, I hadn't thought of a giraffe interloping in on my nativity trail. However, its the twice mentioned neck length reference isn't it? Well, camels stand 7foot at the shoulder and can eat vegetation at 9-10 foot high so I think they might be able to peer upto a window. But mainly, having read Terry Pratchett books, I think they are very nosey!!. Best, jane

This really is quite delightful, although perhaps a bit long. Loved the repetitive chorus, like "Chicken Lickin' " or whatever name is given to 'the sky is falling' story.
I do have a question: a couple of times I almost had the impression of 'giraffe' characteristics rather than 'camel' and I had to remind myself of the image I'm supposed to be seeing. Could be just me, but I did struggle with it.

Who would have imagined that 2 poems could be posted on camels in one day? No humping going on in this one though eh Jane? The poem takes you into the imaginary world of children well - a magical tale with a lovely ending. That is what Christmas is all about. x

What a magical tale told from a child`s point of view. The repetition gives the feel of travel and movement, and there is some lovely imagery in here.

Hi Jane,
i tried to read this a couple of hours after you posted it. To be honest i wanted to read it at a slow pace and didn't have much time.
It was worth waiting until now.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
